That Pamphlet.

When the report of the Drainage Com
mission was submitted to the governor,
the Jacksonville Morning. Ne,rs, alone of
our metropolitan dailies, published it in
full-the Times Union gave an expur-
gated edition in which the damnatory
passages were carefully expunged. The
PALATKA NEWS could not publish the
whole because it had not the space. but
it issued handsome pamphlet for the
information of the people and the use of
the members of the Legislature, as it had
already expended money and time to
straighten up our tax-list and other diff
culties. The production of one hundred
copies in Tallahassee ON Friday refuted
the calumnies and misrepresentation
which had been scattered abroad.

BlONham a. n Democrat

The Democratic party in Florida has
made petted son of William ID. Blox-
ham. Since we have had control of the
State, William ID. Bloxham has held
honorable position. His ''claim" ON the
party is entirely absurd-his .'claim ON
the gratitude of the State" is empty as
that on the loyalty of the Democratic
voters" The most devoted service of
the most richly endowed citizen can
build up no ''claim" against the State to
which his allegiance of thought and life
is due. But William ID. Bloxham has
already received full measure and run
ming over; unless he can promise better
service than another citizen can give, he
can urge no reason for the bestowal of
further marks of favor from the hand of
the mother whose Indulgence alone has
led him to ''claim" rs a right her neglect
of other sons equally worthy her love.
And when this William ID. Bloxham
refuses to abide by the decision of his
brother Democrats, who represent a
large majority of the people of Florida,
he passes the bounds set by the most
tender indulgence. Do we not remem-
her the indignation aroused by the
rumor that Governor Drew would not
abide by the action of Convention
IL William ID. Bloxham appeals to
the action of the Republicans against a

cal tricks? Is the man mad. or has he

with Jones and the friendship of Lex?

defeat the wishes of the Democrats and

He Is Free.
New York Herald

The Daily american, of Nashville,
Tenn, is discussing very important
question-namely, the attitude of the
Republican party toward the negroes of
the South.
The best friend of the negro is. of
course, the party which recognizes him
as a political factor. which treats him
and which helps him to help himself.
As to this the american says: 1T
does not require any great amount of
discernment to understand. that the Re
publican party's bOasted friendship for
the negro and freedom from race pref
udice, is the merest sham"
This is a bold arraignment, but it is
Just. The cOlOred man has learned by
experience that he is .'cold shOuldered'
by the Republican leaders, who are quite
willing to use him for election purposes
but forget him when the tOrchlights
have gone out and the procession dis
bands. So far as stump oratOry is con
cerned the Republicans have claimed 4
monopoly of the negro, and if he hai
the audacity to think for himself anC
vote the Democratic ticket, he is pub
| licly denounced as a ''mOnstrOeity VIII,
should at once be crushed"
1t is about time for this nonsense I,
cease. The white man is quite at hbert,
| to vote as he chooses, and the black MAJ
| should do the same thing without crit
| icism. He refused to be harnessed to TIN
| Republican car. but feels that he has tin
right To dispose of his vote as he pleases
| He is correct. If he wishes to cast
ballot for a Republican, whose bushes
is it? If he wishes to help elect Dem
ocrat, pray whose business is it: III
owns his own brains, and that ends tin

Boston, April lathe committee on
law appointed at the last general assem-
bly, of the Knights Of Labor at Rich
mond to revise the constitution, has fin
ished its work. The following are the
most important new regulations adopted:
The formation of national trades dis
tricts will be permitted, but those local
assemblies exclusively composed of one
trade and attached to a district assembly
of mixed nature must first obtain the
permission of the district assembly: then
must forward its application to the gen
eral secretary, who will lay the matter
before all the local assemblies of the
craft. No trades union can compel a
person to join their union before such
person has joined the Knights of Labor
organization. This law Is aimed at the
matters and glassmakers' union.
Besides the prohibition of rumseIlers
from membership, no local assembly will
be allowed to have any social gathering
or picnic where liquor is sold and no
member will be allowed to dispense
liquor In the name of an assembly LII
such should occur the charter of the as
sembly will be revoked and the members
expelled. This is a return to- the etIuca-
tional policy adopted at the inception of
the order.
Every local assembly must obtain per
tSss-inDlS
it can go ON strike. The penalty of vio-
latiOn of this rule is revocation OF
charter. Any member making ground
less charges or a malicious attack against
general officer or member of the gen
eral executive board will be expelled.
The platform Of principles has beeI
changed to read: No more public land,
for railroads and other speculations In
| surance policies of $500 will he issued
| as well as of 81 .OO. Medical examina
| ton and doctors certificate will nov
be required. No person will have RICH
| to make motion in any local assembl,
that the assembly withdraw as a BODY
| from the Knights. No chairman will b.
allowed to entertain any such motion
| Any individual desiring to withdraw
can do so. The constitution as revise,
will be submitted to the local assemble
for adoption. Forty days notice mus
be given of any future amendment. TIN

cester; ID. j. Haggerty, of Brooklyn AN,

The House Bill No. IS, offered by Mr.
Johns, of Bradford, provides for the ap
pointment of three accountants or ex-
perts for each county, by the Governor.
These shall notify all officers who do or
may handle any public funds, to meet
them with their reports, books and
vouchers at the Court house, ten days
before the meeting of the Circuit Court.
The experts shall make a thorough ex-
animation, and, on the result, make re
port to the Grand Jury. The reasons for
this are given as follows:
.'WHEREAs, In the election of county
officers It Is very often on account of
favoritism, instead of qualification. and
through ncompetency and popularity
the public are the sufferers:
And irhereds, Some are, or NAV be,
competent, Yet neglect the duties thereof
or use such offices for self-aggrandiza-
ment or other unlawful pecuniary pur-
poses;
''iHd Thereas, Some appropriate the
public funds, instead of disposing OF
them when received, as the law requires
and others receive funds and never ac
count for them
To these might be added another sec
ton to cover the case of those who uss
public funds in private business. Their,
is crying need for reform here.

amendment were jubilant yesterday.

safely it must still pass another Legisla-

vote at an election at which only male
voters will be recognized. On the whole
the chances of the final success of Sena-
